It's time to update the lecture. As of yesterday, I know that current MSc students no longer recognise John Travolta, let alone know who he is.

Preview of my talk today at 12 in the ecology section #dzg2025 on invasive Tapinoma ants

In the pic you see a new way of visualising networks of ant colonies in ecological space

New preprint from our lab: When #ants habituate to non-nestmate odour, their odorant receptor profile changes predictably. Could this be a mechanism for pre-filtering cues in nestmate #recognition? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello World!
I'm a scientist interested in the causes and consequences of behavioural variation, from olfactory perception to the evolution of sociality. Our group mostly studies ants, but also less interesting arthropods;)

An impressive Tapinoma magnum trail in Schallstadt, Germany, on a sunny October day. These invasive ants have arrived here some time in the last few years and for some reason the population seems to have exploded in 2024.
